As we continue to research and develop our program we have found that the above categories are all significant needs in our community. However, we will need to understand how our expertise in volunteer management, construction skills and working with vulnerable seniors match community needs and resources.

As we continue to understand the aging population we are also finding that Baby Boomers (those 55-70) view aging much differently than previous generations. They will demand a multi-generational and community centered approach to services rather than be isolated in "senior residences." So we will need to learn a different approach in how we serve them in our communities. Home Repair Aging in Place

Every contact went easily, and my program works very well. I love the characteristics and it's pretty unequalled for that cost. I can't say sufficient occasions exactly how impressed I am along with Safeguard this country's customer support as it definitely blows every other organization aside best-5-home-security-companies.com

Messages That Matter

It is important to find messages that comunicate the essence of your new program. The public will pick up on those messages that connect with their values. We have used "Ever have a brush with kindness?" and "Connecting people... Restoring homes" as well as key quotes and scripture that resonate with our constituents. Check out the slide show below to see quotes that have inspired our messaging.

About Me

I founded A Brush with Kindness 20 years ago. With tremendous support from the Valspar corporation, we created a program that helped preserve homeownership throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area so that families could continue to live in a safe, healthy home. I have helped to start over 100 programs throughout the US and in several countries as a consultant with HFHI. I currently direct the Age in Place program at Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. Locally, A Brush with Kindness serves about 80 families each year. Feel free to contact me for more information at plund@abwk.net.
